Make Your Mind an Ocean

Lama Thubten Yeshe
PRINT-ON-DEMAND AND AUDIOBOOK AVAILABLE

The talks in this booklet are on the general topic of the mind. Two were lunchtime lectures at Melbourne and Latrobe Universities. One was an evening lecture given to the general public.

Perhaps of greatest interest is the lecture entitled "A Buddhist Approach to Mental Illness." Lama presented this talk to a group of psychiatrists at Prince Henry's Hospital who were delighted to meet and question Lama, and this historic exchange underscores the difference between Western and Buddhist concepts of mental health.

This book is published in a combined edition with Lama's Becoming Your Own Therapist.
